Re: JAX-RS:Setting returnvalue for custom types

[Sergey Beryozkin]

Hi,

Just prepending a JAX-RS: prefix in the subject line.
Hi,

If I got a method like:

Customer getCustomer(@PathParam('cust') String custId) {
   Customer c = myCustomerDao.getCustomer(custId);

   if (c == null) {
       // do something
   }
   return c;
}

Now, in the do something clause, I might want to respond with a http
code and maybe an errormessage. How do I inject those instead of just
returning null ?

You can throw a JAX-RS WebApplicationException or use JAX-RS ExceptionMappers and throw any exception you like (including the 
RuntimeException), have a look at [1] please for more info :


Cheers, Sergey
